In the fluffy white cat's point of view. It's nice to see the conversation through text. Seems like the girl and Kou understand what it feels right now. The troublesome bull... Kou to the help is so cool! lol~ he drew its fluffy hand!

lol~ She's eating too many, and ended up staying at the girl's place. Nakajima-san's character came to pick her up. The reason behind eating is the guy she confessed to (they are the one who they met in photo shop) only thinks of friend. She's experiencing the bad driver's driving! Then she deleted all the photos with the guy, as a new start.

Yeah I'm so in love with Nakajima-san songs, everytime she sings it's remind me of Ranka Lee from Macross Frontier xD.

It was a bit boring in the first part with the cat but still so fun to watch hehe.

It's was both fun and sad moment at the time in the 2nd part.

First (and, hopefully, only) non-5/5 episode. :(

After the first part I was ready to give it 2/5. Partially because it was quite boring, but mostly because it was so disappointing.
I was looking forward for a great episode and then I got to watch a joke.
Would even have been 1/5 but there is no way to hate Momoneko-sama, right?

Well, the second part lived up WAY more to my expectations (5/5), so I am willing to forget that there was something else in this episode and thus I rated 4/5.

Japanese wiki lists this anime as having 12 episodes. Which isn't surprising since it's a completely new entry. Which means after this episode, we've only got 3 more to go. Since the story is supposed to span a year in Fuu's life in Seto, maybe we'll see more after her first year of high school in another season.

Which means the show will probably end in the winter season in the show. Although they haven't really focused on the seasons affecting them. It looked like episode 1 was in early spring which explains why they were more or less bundled up.

On topic, this episode was lovely, at least the 2nd half was. The first half just looked like filler due to the 2nd half not having enough material to hold for an entire episode. At least that's my two cents.

Norie can be annoyingly screechy at times and makes it hard to hear exactly what she says so that could be a little irritating to listen to as much as I love Iguchi Yuka.
I am a seiyuu nut. I nerd out pretty hard when it comes to Toyosaki Aki and Hikasa Youko. They seem to be such lovely people.

I'm translating Hikasa's blog which you can find here.

This series proves that proper mindset it the key in enjoying it :]
last week I wrote that episode with Momoneko may be as bad as the one with President Aria... I started to watch it with that thought
and I was really suprised - it was funny, short and I liked that stylization on old silent movies :)
lone hero, girl in troubles, bad guy... it really worked :)

but second part... well Tamayura was already my candidate for Anime of 2011 and it doesn't change
it was realistic and filled with emotions... sad and lovelly in one time :) plus showing more about people surrounding Potte (who is great as spectator of events)

and of course Maon :D ... nice to see her from other side this time - but her theory was interesting I must say plus good to see her traveling to Land of Osaka :D

I can't wait for next episode :) it may be again about dreams... heh will see :)

PS. Kou true boy from the city! Good job man :D trowing rocks at boar! We don't want Norie to become widow to early :P

I didn't think it would be better after having the first half about cats but I was wrong. A really good story with Shimako and her friend.

Very nice episode especially the second half.
Shimako seems like a very able person and with the support of Manami she can achieve allot.
Even tho she got turned down there always others around and one day she will probably meet the right person for her who does share her feelings.
It's also nice to see that she has people around her she can rely on.

This! I can't believe people are saying the Momoneko part was boring, it was funny and I watched with a big smile on my face. The ending to the second half was great, the moment between Manami and Shimako was very touching.

Haha, a day in the life Momoneko-sama, it is. He's just a pink fluffy furball. He hardly looks like a cat, just like Pannya from Mashiroiro. ^^
All the nice things the girls said about him really gave him the courage to go back and face that boar!

"Dougo, back to your home!". The second part was also pretty nice. Shimako got denied with her confession and just started an eating contest to drown her sadness. Nice to see that chat about being honest with your feelings and being able to express them towards your friends. Pretty sad. =(

Heh, Maon and her fantasy-mode... Escape to Rio de Janeiro from a secret organsation? Right. =P

Momoneko-sama's the mascot that Fuu deserves, but not the one she needs right now. He's silent guardian. A watchful protector. A pink knight.

The first half was pretty much the exact same as that one episode of Aria featuring superhero president Aria. The reaction look very similar too....screw you guys that Aria segment was good, and so was this one!!

But the cake goes to the 2nd half...it was touching, it was VERY funny at times too...plus Hazuki Erino, Saito Chiwa, Ohara Sayaka...jesus I could not stop thinking of Aria the whole freaking episode. 5/5 another GREAT episode of this GREAT series.

Even though I prefer watching the main characters, I liked it more than I expected. Especially the Momoneko-sama story surprised me by not being spectacularly boring. They just don't manage to disappoint me ^^

The ending was very touching and true. Maybe one day I'll be able to cry in front of others like that - so far it seems impossible :-/

Looking forward to the next episode - from the title it seems to be about the main girls again.

I liked this "2 part" styled episode.

1st part was adorable ; and the 2nd part was emotional & touching.

very relaxing as usual. <3

Momoneko-sama!~
I'm not a fan of president Aria, but this fluffball here is just incredible.

Second half was also good, nice seeing Shimako again. Her scenes in the lit bamboo episode were so sporadic I wasn't sure what had happened. I also like how each episode ends on a punchline or on a little joke that always lightens the atmosphere.

5/5

The episode is sweet, but not sickly sweet I would say, in the first part you do not notice too much space and it is fair to give the mascot of the place. Instead, in the second part of the finale here is that you do not expect, and that's why I talk of sweetness, but not cloying, because in the end everything does not end with smiles and jokes cute, but with a good cry liberating if you have proof that it is useless to hide it or avoid it to show it to not show the harshness of life.
Fantastic! : D
Drawings, animations, scenarios and characters always beautiful.

Watching momoneko going all batman in his neighbourhood was pretty fun. And LOL @ that "yakuza" wild boar, complete with a scar with stitch marks. The 2nd part was slightly better though. Overall a decent episode.

Typical Sato Junichi on the 1st part, never get enough of your cats Junichi. On the 2nd part gotta love that Sayomi quotes about love inspired by her driving, so inspiring.

Oh man that first half with Momoneko was brilliant! Loved his rise to courage, what a gripping story! I wonder if he won back the respect of the brown neko.

Really liked the 2nd half, too. Nothing like going on an eating a drinking rampage after an unsuccessful confession. The resolve at the end was really sweet, though, I enjoyed it. (As somewhat strange as it is to take a picture of someone crying.)

I see Shimako and Manami are back, didn't think we'll ever see them again. Felt bad Shimako got rejected, maybe it's because she had no cleavage!

That drive sure picked her up and washed away her feelings.

You can't do everything, unfortunately, Momoneko.. But you helped other ones as we saw.. So you're good cat..
And you also help humans as well with your adorable presence, yeah..
Well.. I guess overeating like this is at least better than drinking some alcohol.. What people do sometimes in situation they're extremely upset in.. Or something.. So at least she overate, not started to drink alcohol for several days or something.. Well, as alcohol is addicting..
OK, so confession didn't go well.. Well.. Yeah, this happens.. Not like it's trivial thing or anything, because of this.. Just that what can you do, but to run into painful stuff sometimes.. Life is painful sometimes..
How others around handled her rejection is just baffling in many points, to be honest.. But that's also what happens often.. Others around not being too helpful in this kind of situation.. That's how things not rarely go..
